Minority participation in research refers to the involvement and representation of minority populations in scientific studies and research projects. This can include racial or ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities, the elderly, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other underrepresented groups. Increasing minority participation in research is important to ensure that research findings are applicable to diverse populations, reduce health disparities, and promote equity and inclusion in the scientific community. Researchers and policymakers are increasingly recognizing the importance of including minority populations in research to improve the overall validity and impact of study findings. This can involve targeted recruitment strategies, culturally sensitive research methods, and community engagement efforts to build trust and increase participation among minority groups.
